As we have drifted on to rates…..
Gander, the second home of the C130 in the 90’s enroute to other exciting destinations.
Was rates of 100 Canadian or so; a good night was had for 60 ish. Not to be! Actuals required….. So, a couple of (rather wet) appetisers followed by the “Chateaubriand for two, for one” style of main course with some tasty wet side dishes, the game was to see how much the meal and soft drinks would reach.
Following a visit from a particularly enthusiastic VC10 crew, a couple of RAF plods were sent to spy on the crews. All that changed was the requirement to say “Evening Corporal” as one sauntered past. Strangely, we soon went back to rates….
